Passage of DARK Act to outlaw GMO labeling nationwide is now imminent... TAKE ACTION now or forever lose your right to know what you're eating Monday, February 29, 2016 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Tags: DARK Act, GMOs, food labeling Twitter DARK Act (NaturalNews) In the latest insult to scientific transparency and food consumers everywhere, the U.S. Congress is pushing hard to pass the DARK Act that would outlaw all mandatory GMO labeling nationwide. This act of outrageous food secrecy is being pushed by Monsanto and the evil biotech industry. It's the latest desperate attempt to keep consumers in the dark about all the poisonous GMOs and glyphosate they're eating. When the voters keep demanding labeling laws -- and passing them! -- the poison-pushing industry's weapon of last resort is to pay off the lawmakers to ban mandatory GMO labeling. Remember: These industry operators are the same "corporate science" cretins who also lobbied for the tobacco industry and who now promote chemical pesticides and herbicides. They've mastered the sinister art of making money poisoning the population (while hijacking the so-called "science" by paying off academic prostitute scientists like Kevin Folta and Henry Miller). The DARK Act is a malicious, nefarious law that is intentionally designed to blind consumers from the truth and make sure they keep buying and eating poisons that generate profits for Big Biotech. Any U.S. lawmaker who supports this act deserves to be permanently voted out of office. Take ACTION If this DARK Act becomes law, it will thrust America into a dark age of dirty food secrets that leaves consumers blind about what they're eating. A vote is going to happen very soon, as the Vermont labeling law kicks in this summer, and the corrupt U.S. Congress is desperate to stop it with the DARK Act! The food industry is already accelerating toward more food transparency, and the evil biotech industry wants to stop this trend as quickly as possible. Campbell's recently announced GMO labeling across its entire product line and even declared it would stop financially supporting anti-GMO labeling groups. If Campbell's can label the GMOs in its products, any food manufacturer can do the same! CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW via the U.S. capitol switchboard: (202) 224- 3121. Tell them you oppose the DARK Act and that you support GMO labeling!

so the medical industry can make more money treating diseases caused by this unsafe food. What a racket we have in this country.
Why do we need GMO labeling?
Seems this is ripe for a Constitutional free speech challenge.
So the rest of us don't go brain dead like you.
Because Fred thinks we don't have enough federal laws and regulations already.
Hilarious that you are on a jihad against raw milk providers, yet in the case of Monsanto, you question the idea of labeling. Pitiful. Whitey : We Know Who You Are: 71 Senators Reject States’ Rights to Label GMOs In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Guess it would be alright with you two shills if we stopped labeling rat poison. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Your love of centralized national government is showing. Again.
if the luddites weren't putting out so much fear mongering about GMO then maybe the labelling wouldn't be such a big deal.
"If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." Plato
I wish I could sue you when you post lies. I'd be rich. "There is a belief that Monsanto won’t serve GM foods—or that we serve only organic food—in our cafeterias. It’s a myth that started back in 1999 and continues today. In reality, all types of foods can be found in our cafeterias. These are the same foods that we purchase at grocery stores for our families, and the same foods that everyone else eats. Sometimes we have special menu items that feature our products. For example, in summer 2012 we held a special event for employees to taste our GM sweet corn from a customer’s farm." By the way, your lies are the #1 reason not to label food.
Rat poison kills people.
Or if there was the slightest bit of truth to what they're claiming.
If rat poison contained GMO, you would have to put two labels on the box.
Plus a Nutrition Facts label. Because that boondoggle has been so effective at helping fat people lose weight.
And who's the judge of truth in respect to GMOs? You? The government? The safety of GMO's is not the issue here. The issue is the right of the people to know what they are eating. People are always right and wrong about choices they make, but it's still THEIR right to make the choice they see fit about what they eat. Some people, perhaps you, would prefer to eat GMO's and the labling law would help them as well so they can choose GMO's over organics or conventional non-GMO food. Why would you deprive them of that right, if it's a right they would insist on exercising? The only sound reason for nixing the will of the people in this case is so some US Senators can get rewarded by Monsanto lobbyists.
Scientific studies. "The safety of GMO's is not the issue here." It should be about safety but you're right, it's not about safety. It's about conspiracy theorists trying to scare ignorant consumers, thereby giving them relevance. Like the global warming people.
And I wonder if GMO labeling will be required for the genetically engineered high- THC marijuana sold in the "clinics."
Funded by Monsanto? Studies, even "scientific" ones, and often there is dispute over what studies are scientific, often come up with differing results. They need to be compared and scrutinized, and even then, people disagree on the results. It is consumers that have a right to know, and if legislatures representing the people in various states want to impose GMO labeling, that is their right. If people want to know, then that is their right. That you want to deprive people of that right is both understood and irrelevant.
If there is such a thing, then yes it should be labelled. Absolutely.
You will not understand. GMO ate your brain.
Because Fred thinks we don't have enough federal laws and regulations already. Yes, Feds should not be banning state labeling regulations.
Images of advanced seed chipping machines and their technicans inside Monsanto agribusiness headquarters in St Louis, Missouri, 21 May 2009. Monsanto is at the forefront of biotechnology in the agribusiness sector. These machines are designed and built inhouse and they allow the technicans to chip off a tiny portion of thousands of seeds daily. These chips are scanned instantly for the perfect DNA of an elite corn seed and then those seeds that make the grade are forwarded to the next stage of the selection process. Monsanto is a controversial global corporate with a history of strong litigation against those it assumes are interfering with its stringent patent laws. This practise as well as its advanced genetically modified technology approach in the agricultural sector have led many to be suspicious of Monsanto and the ultimate good of GM foods. Monsanto argues back that sufficent food production for the future is simply not possible without adequate GM technology in agriculture. Monsanto Dr. Doom mad scientist eugenicist, hand pollinates killer GMO corn at cult HQ (shakin' the bush boss) Monsanto cult HQ: Images of Monsanto agribusiness greenhouses on top of a research building in St Louis, Missouri Fascinating. By the way, selection/culling, cross-breeding, and cross-pollination all produce genetic modification of a population pool. So would you enforce special labeling requirements for sweet corn, because it's no longer maize? How about beefalo steaks? Or Ice Cube lettuce? (Ethyl methane sulfonate induced mutation.)
How about when the state labeling regulations impede interstate commerce?
How is it you think that even with labeling requirements you know what you are eating? If livestock is fed with GMO crops do you think labeling protects you? How do you stop producers using the latest Monsanto gymic? herbicides, insecticides, fertalisers who knows whether any of these are long term harmful. It is all like the McDonald's hamburger, noone knows how many beasts have contributed and what is actually in it Try reading and understanding the labeling of manufactured food products? How many unnecessary substances are mixed in with the "real" ingredients? I support full disclosure of all ingredients, including spelling out what the codes actually mean
Like that would make a difference to dopers. It could be radioactive and contain lead and they'd smoke it. But you're correct -- marijuana IS being genetically modified for higher THC. Because that's the particular cannabinoid that does all the healing, right?
Like we did with the Nutrition Facts label on all foods? So people would make better choices, eat healthier, and lose weight? How's that $3 billion boondoggle working out?
labeling is one thing regulation of the industry another
Sorry. I thought we were discussing labeling.
labeling doesn't change to content pf the packaging
Does your argument have a destination in mind?
How about eliminating these quaint states and restoring wealth census back? Since corporations are persons now, the government should be in the hands of individual and corporate Job Creators (profit makers). 1 billion for corpo, 100 million for an individual creator? Because of technological progress, parasitic lower classes of Job Recipients are becoming redundant. What to you suggest, feed them with GMO until they mutate and get sterile, or to utilize them quicker in wars against each other?
Is that what the Framers did?
You're both freaking idiots. Both of you. In a Cop Culture, the Bill of Rights Doesn’t Amount to Much Oh, that's just the radiation sickness and lead poisoning speaking.
Yeah. What you said.
Does that mean you support or oppose GMO labeling for pot? Or were you just looking for some attention?
Don't you get it? You can't require people to drive the speed limit, but you can make them paint their cars red so you can see them coming. Or something like that.
Dopers buy this crap off the street without knowing anything about it. Or caring. These same people are now concerned about GMO labeling. Uh-huh.
this is a strawman argument. If you want change in a society you have to do more than just list the contents of a box
This act of outrageous food secrecy is being pushed by Monsanto and the evil biotech industry
